Explore the Possibilities with Our FTZ Savings Calculator

Regardless of industry, most business decisions can be boiled down to a few essential considerations. Is it worth it? What do we have to gain?

Likewise, these questions should be some of the first to ponder when a company is looking into operating in a Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ). Many companies become interested in pursuing an FTZ because of the potential for duty and other savings opportunities.

Our FTZ Savings Calculator can help you estimate your company’s potential savings from operating within an FTZ. Simply provide your

total number of Customs entries filed annually

annual value of imports

annual duties paid

average ad valorem duty rate on finished products

average broker fee per entry

annual value of re-exports

percentage of scrapped imported merchandise

interest rate

With this data, the calculator will estimate your potential duty savings (from deferred, reduced, and eliminated duties) as well as possible savings that could be yielded from using an FTZ weekly entry procedure. You can then use the results to gauge whether or not its worth your while to further pursue an FTZ for your company.
